The 6th album from Australia’s TEMTRIS sees them release a solid cohesive album of Aussie METAL.
I spoke with RAIDEN and CRAIG MACINTYRE from South Australian band, SHATTERED HOURGLASS about the band’s debut album, ‘Timekeeper’, due out December 8th. This band will surprise you, they surprised me when I saw them earlier this year. It’s not often you go to a gig, and the lead guitarist in a heavy band is 12 years old. Yeah, you read that right. To top it off, RAIDEN had a guitar sound like TONY IOMMI. Check it all out below, where you’ll find the interview, press release and the link to the new single on YouTube.
I spoke to STEVE HUGHES about many, many things. His start in the Metal scene in Sydney in the early 80s, his time in SLAUGHTER LORD, later joining MORTAL SIN, his transition to stand-up comedy and his new STEVE HUGHES ETERNUM album, ‘Alone But For The Breath Of Beasts’.
Check it all out below.
